The Perception of the Soul, Part IV

Goodness

In order to introduce the question of goodness at greater depth, I should first like to recommend to readers the book Friendship with the Elements, by Don Alverto Taxo. Don Alverto, who one of my close personal friends actually studied with (lucky him!), was a man open to the higher levels that are being discussed here and his book is well worth reading.

Alverto was raised in one of the few remaining and very rare cultures where humanity’s connection to essence hasn’t as of yet been badly damaged. That is, by the way, one of the first things we do to children in most cultures. We ruin them.

Alverto’s sensory perception was consequently open to the higher levels and many right things which are important to this question can be encountered in his book, although they’re put in language different than mine.

To become open to the spiritually elemental perceptions of being Don Alverto describes is to come into contact with God and heaven and its qualities.

Let’s get back to waking up in the morning and touching the bedsheets.

Because of my organic and cosmological sensation, I’m capable of perceiving the flow of these impressions on a level other than just that of the flesh body.

The bedsheets, the pillow, have a quality of goodness in them.
